that is before the LORD and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar on all sides. 19 And with his finger he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it seven times, and cleanse it, and from the impurities of the sons of Israel consecrate it. (Leviticus 16:18-19).

The Passing of the The Passing of the GoatGoat

When he finishes atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall offer the live goat. (Leviticus 16:20).

The Passing of the The Passing of the GoatGoatThen Aaron shall lay both of his

Leviticus 16:29-30 Leviticus 16:29-30 This shall be a permanent

statute for you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall humble your souls and not do any work, whether the native, or the alien who sojourns among you; 30 for it is on this day that atonement shall be made for you to cleanse you; you will be clean from all your sins before the LORD.

Hebrews 8:1-2Hebrews 8:1-2Now the main point in what has

been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

Hebrews 8:4-5Hebrews 8:4-5Now if He were on earth, He

would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law; 5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “See,” He says, “that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.”

Hebrews 9:6-7Hebrews 9:6-7Now when these things have been

so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship, 7 but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

Hebrews 9:8-10Hebrews 9:8-10The Holy Spirit is signifying this,

that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing, 9 which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience, 10 since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.

Hebrews 9:11-12Hebrews 9:11-12But when Christ appeared as a

high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; 12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

Leviticus 17:1-2Leviticus 17:1-2Then the LORD spoke to Moses,

saying, 2 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘This is what the LORD has commanded, saying…’”

Leviticus 17:3-4Leviticus 17:3-4Any man from the house of Israel

who slaughters an ox or a lamb or a goat in the camp, or who slaughters it outside the camp, 4 and has not brought it to the doorway of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD, bloodguiltiness is to be reckoned to that man. He has shed blood and that man shall be cut off from among his people.

Leviticus 17:5Leviticus 17:5The reason is so that the sons of

Israel may bring their sacrifices which they were sacrificing in the open field, that they may bring them in to the LORD, at the doorway of the tent of meeting to the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD.

Leviticus 17:7Leviticus 17:7They shall no longer sacrifice their

sacrifices to the goat demons with which they play the harlot. This shall be a permanent statute to them throughout their generations.

Leviticus 17:10Leviticus 17:10And any man from the house of

Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people.

Leviticus 17:11Leviticus 17:11For the life of the flesh is in the

blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.
